Description

Hiking Fire Lookouts New England details 40 hikes that lead to climbable lookouts in the region. These lookouts are strategically placed on high ground, elevated even higher from the summit, to give them the best vantage point for spotting signs of fire in the broadest possible area. Fire lookouts offer the ultimate payoff in terms of views, interest, and thrill.
